Who R U?

A while back Garfish mentioned he lked the idea of getting to know some of us better.As no one has started a thread like this before I will take the plunge.I have been involved in and read many heated exchanges here in AudioGon.I hope no one attacks me for this thread saying "who cares about you,this is audio" Anyway,Im 45 and live in W.N.Y.I have never been married but have a music loving 11 year old daughter who lives with me.I have been a nurse for 20 years.Before that I was a Navy Corpsman for several years.I recently became engaged (first time) to a beautiful 30 year old music loving woman.At my age a 30 year old is a keeper and I have never been happier!! My other interests??Im into vinyl,who has time for anything else??

Personally I'm glad that David99 had the nerve to start this potentially contentious thread, and as he mentioned me in it, I feel a small amount of joint responsibility for it too. I think the thread has been highly successful, extremely interesting, and very worthwhile. So, I sincerely hope no one pollutes it with pettiness and negativity. I have really enjoyed getting to know other Audiogon members, and as far as I'm concerned, this is one of the most valuable threads of the year. Thanks David. Cheers and Happy holidays to all. Craig.

Craig,I agree! Maybe we "hot heads" can save the potentially damaging comments/views for the other audio related threads.Lets keep this one clean please! Ive been turned on to a new CD.Its unusual for me to be excited at a first listen to something new.Usually I have to get a bit used to it.Its the first,self titled release from a modern rock band called "Days Of The New" Its really unusual and I think some of you that would never consider modern rock may enjoy it.Craig,check it out.The copy I have on loan is a CD-R.If you dont enjoy it as much as I think you may,I will buy it off you.Happy Holidays all!!

David 99, I am a huge fan of Days of the New, which album do you have? If it starts with "Shelf in the Room" you have the first album which is a cool album, but if it starts with "Flight Response" (sound of horses getting nearer then its the second album and that is a brilliant album , if its the socond one I advise you to listen to it with your eyes closed or in the dark to capture all the moods they put into it. Great choice of music! Tim.

I have that CD, and I think it's cool too! You know what it is ? Days of the New is a previously unsuheavy metal band that went acoustic. Heavy metal is characterized by power chords played over minor keys. That's why the music has that way-cool yet slightly disturbing sound to it. Alice in Chains is another band that does this. If you like DOTN, you will probably like AIC's acoustic album 'SAP'. AIC's MTV Unplugged is good too.

Tim,for some reason I thought it was the first release.Yes,the first song is "Flight response"I loved this CD on first listen.As I stated above,I have a CD-R copy.The sound quality is quite good but Im wondering how much better a "Store Bought"CD sounds.Also,do you know if this is avaliable on vinyl?
